DESCRIPTION:
The organisers of the SEANET Convention 2007 invite all radio amateurs and Short Wave Listeners (SWL’s) to participate in the SEANET 2007 Contest.
This contest is associated with the 35th Annual SEANET Convention to be held in Lampang, Thailand November 8-11,2007.

It is suggested that we operate around certain preferred frequencies so that is easy to find the SEANET stations. Please see these frequencies in Paragraph 3. All stations may use Internet or Packet Cluster "Spotting" including self-spotting. There are some changes to the basis on the counting of the multiplier on each band and the allowance of Packet Cluster self-spotting.

SEANET stations (including SWLs) may contact/log World-Wide AND SEANET stations, AND stations within own country.
World-Wide stations (including SWLs) may ONLY contact/log SEANET stations.
For the purpose of the contest "SEANET" stations are defined as those operating from the following ITU zones:

ITU Zone:

33(BY), 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 49, 50, 51, 54, 55, 56, 58, 59, 60, 64, 65, 90

The DXCC Entity list for multiplier scoring purposes is:

1S/9MO (Spratly), 3D2, 3D2/C, 3D2/R, 3W/XV, 4S, 4W, 8Q, 9M2, 9M6/9M8, 9N, 9V, A5, AP, B/BY, BS7, BV, BV/P, C2, DU, FK, FK/C, H4, H40, HL/DS, HS/E2, JA, JD1/M, JD1/O, KHO, KH2, KH9, P2, P5, S2, T2, T3O, T33, T8, V6, V7, V8, VK, VKO/M, VK9/C, VK9/L, VK9/M, VK9/N, VK9/W, VK9/X, VQ9, VR2, VU, VU/A, VU/L, XU, XW, XX9, XY/XZ, YB, YJ, ZL, ZL7, ZL8, ZL9.

9. SCORING:

9.1. Point:

* For contacts between WORLD-WIDE and SEANET Stations = 10 points
* For contacts between SEANET stations in DIFFERENT SEANET countries / entities = 10 points
* For contacts between SEANET stations in the SAME country / entity = 5 points

Each point counts on each mode on the same band.

Note - Only one contact per mode is allowed on each band with the same station. E.g. A "Voice" mode contact can only be made once per band with the same station. SSB or FM can be used for the contact, but points cannot be claimed for an SSB and an FM contact with the same station.

Similarly on digital, any digital mode can be used to make a digital mode contact with the same station, but points cannot be claimed for more than one digital mode with the same station.

9.2. Multiplier:

* WORLDWIDE stations can only claim multipliers for DXCC entities within the SEANET Region - See entity list above.

* SEANET stations can claim multipliers for DXCC entities WORLDWIDE including the SEANET Region and own country.

Each multiplier counts once on each band (not mode).

9.3. Score:

The total number of QSO points times the total number of multipliers worked.

10. RESTRICTIONS:

Contacts on cross modes or cross bands will not count. Operators are not allowed to transmit two or more signals at the same time on the same band.
Entries which contain errors or unmarked duplicates are liable to a reduction of points. Any entrant who uses methods contrary to the spirit of the contest may be subject to disqualification.
The decision of the SEANET contest organizers shall be final.

11. ENTRIES, LOGS AND SUMMARY SHEETS:
